Duck pond on m40
Just thought i would say hello after following you on the m40 again :lol1: I could tell it was you by the way you were driving your car :norty:
|
Sensibly of course :lol1: Was a Friday after all...
I thought it was strange when, after being followed for a few mins and not dropping you, that when I got the chance to pull out of the way, you started flashing to let me out... then I heard / saw you pull alongside. I didn't really get very close down towards Becketts Farm, did I? :lol1: Then again, my tractor has less than half the bhp I suppose! :) |

I was on my way over to see the old man - he lives closer to junction 3 than 2, where I lurk - where I followed you to last time. :)
The Fabia is good on the motorway - in 6th at 60/70 mph it'll leave a lot of much faster cars for dead as it's right in the power band, on the turbo. Put it against the same faster car when the gearings are evenly matched and it'll be obliterated. :D Plus, the fact it's shaped like a house brick means it runs out of any form of aerodynamics at 110 and grinds to a crawl! But that's fast enough and it's still doing 40mpg even then. Where do you work in Leam? |

I was thinking your car would not of used much fuel the other night as i watch mine go from 1/2 a tank to a 1/4 :( but its a work horse in my eyes so when its my day off i make my misses drive everywhere its only right :D |
